What is a good book about helping baby fall asleep?

What is a good book to help your child sleep fall asleep at night? My son goes down well, so honestly, I've always just skimmed messages on here about people who were struggling with this. But now My friend is going through this. Her son is up till like midnight till he falls asleep. I don't think she lets him cry for even like a minute. But anyway, I was thinking that I'd suggest some books that might help her. So were there any books or theorists that helped anyone who struggled with this.

Thanks a lot.

I used "Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child". The good thing about it is that it offers a few different methods of getting your baby to sleep well. Its basically varying degrees of CIO. I'm a hardcore, CIO-er, but it offers versions that are easier on parents who have a tough time with that.

I liked "The No-Cry Sleep Solution." I didn't implement the plan like it said to in the book, but I used a lot of the suggestions about how to get LO relaxed and settled. DH and I also put a full mattress set in the corner of my son's room in case he woke up and wouldn't go back to sleep in his crib; one of us would get in the bed with him so we could get some sleep, too. Now, one of us gets on the bed with him while he falls asleep and rubs his back and hums to him. Once he's asleep, we go get in our own bed. Anyway, "The No-Cry Sleep Solution" is a really good resource for parents who aren't comfortable with CIO. HTH

I also used Healthy Sleep Habbits....but if the baby is over a year old I don't know if it will help as much. I gave the book to my sister and never got it back so I can't check but the chapters (although all have good info) go by age range and if she is like me, chances are she would only read the one chapter that is titled for her. But the book does offer a ton of good ideas and testimonials.

My neighbor had problems but wouldn't read the book (that book) my other neighbor gave her. She had the attitude what she was doing was best and it would work itself out. And that she is not a person who follows schedules, why would she put her baby on one!! What a crazy threory. So she through the book away. Her second baby is on a nap schedule!! I found that funny.

I know this wasn't much help but it will bump the message up to the top and maybe get some more replies too.
